Los Alamos Technical Associates

Los Alamos Technical Associates, commonly known as LATA, is an American diversified engineering, scientific, and technical services company. It was founded in 1975 in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and later established its corporate headquarters in Albuquerque. The company is described as an SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Business and serves clients across the United States as well as a broader international client base. LATA's work is organized around technical service areas associated with complex government and industrial requirements. These include nuclear services, environmental services, demolition, defense and security, and general engineering. Its capabilities are particularly relevant to projects involving regulated facilities, hazardous or legacy sites, public-sector infrastructure, national security, and technically demanding program support. The available reference material identifies the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Energy-related national laboratory work as important parts of the company's business, although it does not provide a complete list of customers or current contracts. The company's history includes participation in large federal and laboratory-related contracting arrangements. In February 2003, Los Alamos National Laboratory signed a contract with KSL Services Joint Venture, in which LATA was one of three participating companies. In January 2005, the Department of Energy announced a $141 million contract involving LATA and Parallax Inc. The available material does not specify the full scope, duration, allocation, or final performance results of that contract, so those details should not be inferred. LATA has maintained a distributed U.S. presence rather than operating solely from its New Mexico origins. Locations identified in the reference material include Los Alamos and Albuquerque, New Mexico; Richland, Washington; Columbus, Ohio; Amarillo, Texas; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Wixom, Michigan; and Carlsbad, New Mexico. This geographic footprint corresponds closely to regions with major nuclear laboratories, defense activities, environmental remediation programs, and federal technical infrastructure. As a business-to-government and business-to-industry services provider, LATA's principal offering is expertise rather than a consumer product. Its positioning is that of a specialized technical contractor able to combine engineering, scientific analysis, environmental support, nuclear safety-related work, demolition, and security capabilities. Publicly available reference material is limited regarding its ownership history, executives, revenue, corporate structure, website, and present-day contract portfolio. Those fields therefore remain unspecified in this dossier.

Los Alamos Technical Associates was established in 1975 in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The company developed as a diversified engineering, scientific, and technical services provider, with capabilities spanning nuclear work, environmental services, demolition, defense and security, and engineering. Its location in northern New Mexico placed it near Los Alamos National Laboratory and a wider concentration of federal research, nuclear, and national-security activity. Over time, LATA expanded beyond its original Los Alamos base. Albuquerque became the company's corporate headquarters, while additional offices were identified in Los Alamos, Richland, Columbus, Amarillo, Oak Ridge, Wixom, and Carlsbad. These locations gave the company access to several important U.S. technical and government markets, including areas associated with national laboratories, nuclear facilities, defense programs, environmental management, and industrial infrastructure. LATA's publicly documented contracting history includes work connected with the U.S. Department of Energy and Los Alamos National Laboratory. In February 2003, the laboratory signed a contract with KSL Services Joint Venture, with LATA listed as one of the joint venture's three companies. In January 2005, the Department of Energy announced a $141 million contract involving LATA and Parallax Inc. The available reference does not provide enough information to describe the contract's detailed deliverables, duration, performance, or each party's financial share. The company is characterized as an SBA-certified Woman-Owned Small Business and as serving a worldwide client base, although the available material provides substantially more detail about its U.S. operations than about overseas projects. Its service portfolio reflects the needs of clients managing complex, regulated, hazardous, or security-sensitive environments. Nuclear and environmental capabilities are complemented by demolition, engineering, defense, and security services, allowing the company to compete for multidisciplinary technical support work. Public reference material does not identify the founder, current or former senior executives, ownership arrangements, revenue, stock-market status, or a verified official website address. It also does not document major scandals, litigation, acquisitions, product launches, or later corporate milestones. Accordingly, this dossier treats LATA as an active private technical-services company while leaving unsupported corporate details unfilled.
